“Your suburban homeowner parents’ financial interests are aligned with your scumbag landlord and as a tenant, your financial interests are aligned with real estate developers’” is a VERY hard pill for a lot of people to swallow.

SwiftOnSecurity & @SwiftOnSecurity Forcing a terrorist through all the rights and due process he's entitled to is the most hardcore American patriot shit I can imagine. 4:11 PM • 9/19/16

Rhetoric is a skill entirely separate from "being correct."

This is some serious price discrimination!

Hard not to read this as an obvious commentary of consumption and inequality.
The street vendor who sold the banana for 35 cents, and the crypto guy who bought it for $6.2 million to try to get Elon Musk's attention.

A widower from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Mr. Alam was a civil servant before he moved to the United States in 2007 to be closer to one of his two children, a married daughter who lives on Long Island. He said his home is a basement apartment with five other men in Parkchester, in the Bronx. For his room he pays $500 a month in rent, he said, speaking in Bengali. His fruit stand shifts are 12 hours long, four days a week; for each hour on his feet, in all weather, the owner pays him $12. His English is limited mostly to the prices and names of his wares — apples, three for $2; small pears, $1 each.
